Alright, had a go at this one last night. 😅 Nose is proper smoky, like a bonfire mixed wif honey. A bit of sherry sweetness coming thru. First sip... warm, vanilla-y, get some butterscotch and cinnamon. Quite rich tbh. Mid palate there's citrus and a wee bit of oak. Kinda earthy too? Like wet leaves after rain 🍂 Finish is long, peaty, touch of brine. Stays wi ye for ages. Overall quite lovely, would def have again 🥃✨ …did I mention the dram already? Me head's a bit fuzzy this mornin 😂

Ah right then, just had a sip. Nose? First off, a lovely whiff of sweet baked apples an' a bit of honey. Then comes the smoke, like a distant bonfire, not too pushy. 🍎🔥 Palate's proper smooth, like. Creamy vanilla, a bit of dark chocolate, an' a warm spice at the back. There's a malty, cereal thing goin' on too. 👍 Finish is long, a bit woody an' spicy. Leaves a right nice warmth in the chest. That peat smoke lingers, just gently. Overall, it's a proper comforting dram. Rich an' complex but not overly complicated. Really enjoyable, especially on a cold night. Cheers! 🥃

This whisky is proper lush! 🥃 You get a hit of sweet cinnamon and apple right away 🍎🌶️, then it turns all creamy with vanilla and honey 🍯. The finish is smoky and earthy, like a campfire in the highlands 🌿. Realyl brilliant, I'd say. 👍
